When we are young, we may be driven by a false certainty that undoing all injustice is possible, and would make the world a better place. Once we understand the present system and how many complex mechanisms to reduce violence and injustice it has, we hesitate to replace it.

the whole society. But I still consider the ideals of anarchism (for lacking a better word for it) valid and right. It is depressing that acting up on them almost always leads to utter failure (as the article so thoroughly points out).

It seems to be a question of incentives: without a centralized monopoly on violence, individual groups sooner or later discover that they stand to gain by using violence on others, and civilization falls apart. All working societies are built in the shadow of silent death stars

So the question remains: was tun? I still have hope that there's a way to live without a centralized monopoly on violence, but I seriously doubt that I will see that in my lifetime. On a bigger scale, one might have to think about the concepts of civilization and society.

being human or if it something we learnt. Our both. And if it is possible at all to rule it out. I guess: not so much. As an archaeologist, I don't know one civilization throughout the last 5000 years that was not built on some form of violence. Bad track record for humanity.

What we learnt, we learnt through a process of domestication, which was a series of violent acts. Now, being thoroughly domesticated, it is difficult for us to see the ground truth. The problem is not human nature (which in most but not all cases is quite tame), but game theory.
